Final Pitch NY Yankees Win 2009 World Series Live HD

World series

It's funny how things work the New York Yankees are what started the the link that made my father and I so close. In 2003 when the Yankees beat the Boston Red Sox in the ALCS I started a mission with my dad to become a fantastic softball pitcher as my father and I chased my dream we built many links that were far deeper then softball and it all started with one Yankee play off game. It only makes sense that when I finally reached my goals it was after my beloved Yankees reached their goal. I find parallels like this one amazing.

Making Connections

My father is a very driven person I guess that is what links the business world tie into the sports. In order to keep a business running and winning a game you need similar characteristics and qualities. I think for both talents you need to be competitive and driven. When your playing a sport in order to be successful and good you must be fearless I think many people would agree that in order to cut it in business you must share the same qualities.

In my paper I want to stick to this idea to link the two things that I admire and that have shaped my father to be my role mode together.  I thought using personality traits would be very effective and I could look up a journal on research about the two. I think I may be on to something

Progress

I've been searching odds of small business success on the internet because my dad is a small business owner and I have always been proud of that I thought it would be interesting to incorporate some stats into my paper and find sources about small business owners. I found a lot of interesting stats that impress my about my dads business like 95% of small business's fail within the first 5 years and my dad has been in business for 19 years. I included the link there is a lot of interesting stats I want to add.
